The Pittsburgh Pirates have been ranked last in a vital category, and none of us should be surprised.

The Pittsburgh Pirates have not been good this year. Heck, they haven't been good for most of the last three-plus decades. But right now, things are especially bad, particularly offensively.

The Pirates have been the worst offense in baseball by a wide margin in 2025, and looking at their lineup, it's not hard to understand why.

One of the biggest issues for Pittsburgh (one of the many issues) has been its glaring lack of production from the third base position. Ke'Bryan Hayes had a .569 OPS before getting traded to the Cincinnati Reds (where he has hilariously flourished), and Isiah Kiner-Falefa was a rather significant offensive liability, as well.

That has left the Pirates to call up 28-year-old prospect (if you can even call a player that old a "prospect" anymore) Cam Devanney, who has hit to the tune of a .115/.148/.154 slash line in nine games since hitting the big-league level.

To be fair, that is an incredibly small sample size, although it's not like he was raking at Triple-A Indianapolis, either, where he owned a .687 OPS across 147 plate appearances (he began the year in the Kansas City Royals' minor-league system, where he actually hit pretty well).

So perhaps not surprisingly, Bleacher Report's Joel Reuter has ranked Devanney as the worst starting third baseman in baseball.

"With Ke'Bryan Hayes (97 starts) and Isiah Kiner-Falefa (24 starts) now playing elsewhere and Jared Triolo (18 starts) shifted to shortstop, Devanney is the only other Pirates player who has started a game at third base this year," Reuter wrote. "The 28-year-old rookie hit .266/.353/.493 with 20 home runs in 103 games at Triple-A this year before making his MLB debut on Aug. 31."

Most of those good numbers came during Devanney's time with the Royals during the first half of the year. Pittsburgh sent Adam Frazier to Kansas City in exchange for the Nashua, N.H. native back in mid-July.

Devanney definitely deserves a chance to prove himself beyond nine games, but there is a reason why he had never even hit the big-league level up until this point. He owns as lifetime .783 OPS across six minor-league campaigns.
